1970 Fonseca Vintage Port

Post by Al B. »

Decant: 18 days - Taylor Fladgate made 24,600 cases of this wine but have only 320 bottles of this port left in their cellars! Deep red centre, with just a touch of bricking; 90% opaque. Mulberry fruit all over the nose, very open and inviting. Sweet fruit on the palate, medium bodied and great texture. The fruit grows and allows the tannins to gently take hold, but then the fruit comes back and overcomes everything else. Huge finish, big fruit and massive finish - stunning port, monumental! 95 points
